In response to misinformation and lack of access in the mass media,
citizens have created alternative media networks that play a
fundamental role in today's Latin America. Together, these community
television stations are transforming the media landscape throughout
the Americas. This redefined space for independent media has three
vital functions: disseminating alternative information; providing a
space for popular voice and especially the voice of groups
underrepresented in the media; and building community. In Argentina,
citizen media groups simultaneously fight for autonomous spaces and
for reforms in media laws that will allow them to operate legally.
